Cement and building foundation

Her (@azamamaofgoodlife) viral clip showed houses around the site. A few people were present to celebrate the lady's building achievement.

A part of her video showed that cement concrete had already been poured into the dug trenches.

She called for prayers, saying a woman swore that she would never finish the building project. In her words:

"You guys should pray for me the woman that gave birth to my dad said she won't be alive to see me finish the house but I believe she won't do me anything."

A construction engineer, Gbenga Muritala. spoke on foundation building. He said both 9-inch and 6-inch blocks could be used. He added that how a foundation is built depends on the land's topography. He said:

"How raised a foundation will be depends on the land. Concrete is always needed for foundation building. Both 9-inch and 6-inch blocks can be used."
